Had the real weakness or the enemy o.
the first train been known, Andrews
would have certainly ordered the attack.
On the other hand, If Fuller's party had
known how strong we were he could not
have induced them to continue the chase,
even IL the resolute conductor himself had
not been willing to wait for help. 1t was
believed at first that we were but four
the number on the engine. The estimate
was never raised higher than eight, MUIR
ply suggesting to Fuller even then that
IL would be better to wait for the train
behind and take on more men. But Fuller
resolved to persevere aud Mt least delay us
at the risk of his own life. Had it been
known that we were twenty, he and his
slender band would not have been guilty
of the madness of crowding on nearly
twice their number, even if better armed,
and sure of help at every station. But
this madness, this unreasonable pursuit,
the result of imperfect knowledge, served
them well.
After passing Resaca, we again forced
our pursuers back by dropping ties OH the
track, and not knowing whether it was n
telegraph station or not, we again cut the
wires. No distractions were placed on
the track at this point, but it was on a
bent in lifting it / placed one end under
the rail at one side and the other project
ing diagonally toward the train on the
other side. The pursuers saw us start,
but seeing no distractions they ran at n
good rate of speed right over this rail-
Their escape was marvellous. Persons on
the tender jumped q foot high, and one of
Fuller's stanchest helpers demanded that
the train be stopped to let him off no
wanted no more such running as that!
But Fuller, though considering this the
greatest of their dangers, would not stop;
and it was impossible for him to keep
closer lookout than he had done.
But what conjectures did we form to
account for the unexpected appearance Of
this pursuing train? The story as given
to the reader was totally unknown then
and wo were greatly perplexed. The
matter had great practical Importance.
Was the engine started after us by an
authority which had also alarmed the

keeper of the woodward that he might
hinder us from getting full supply. But
this did not discourage us for even when
Andrews reluctantly gave the word to
come on board, Wilson, who as fireman
had n great appreciation of the need of
fuel, fingered still to get huge armload
more, and the enemy, seeing our engine
standing there, were actually obliged to
"slow up" to avoid the collision that
seemed inevitable. However we did not
wait for them to get close enough to use
their shotguns-at least not to any effect,
though Wilson is quite positive that some
guns were fired. He says:
1--WE had, however, secured only par
tial supply when the chasing train came
in sight, loaded with armed soldiers. Our
pursuers were worked up to an Infatuated
pitch Of excitement, and rent the very air
with their screeches and yells as they
came in sight of us, like dogs when the
quarry is sprung. They opened on us at
long range with musketry. The bullets
ratified around us like hail, but fortu-
nately none of our party was hit"

structed, and with the guns of the pur-
suers behind, we could not give time for
this; so we slowly and reluctantly passed
over the bridge, after dropping the car,
and on through the village OF Resaca.
The pursuers took up this car as they had
done the other, and pushed them both
through the bridge, and left them on the
Resaca side track.
1t may be well to notice here how our
ignorance of the enemy and his ignorance
OF us both Injured to his advantage. There
had been alreadymany limitations among
US that II would he well to turn and fight
rather than to be chased any further.

MET HIS MATCH.
How IA Cowboy Got the Better of
John l.. Sullivan.

When the John L. Sullivan combi
nation made its western trip little
event took place out at Helena, Mon.
which has never been in the papers
As is well known, John usually takes
in the towns when out on his trip
especially the western ones, where he
usually sees much that is new. On
this occasion at Helena he was max
ing the rounds with couple of mem
bers of the combination and local
sport, and it was pretty late when
they struck large saloon which per-
= Nps, more than any other, was fire.
ented by the stock men. There
we're probably twenty-five or thirty
cowboys in the saloon at the time.
After drink all round, big, square
shouldered man stepped up and said /:

eyes, sir"
"Well. want to say l kin lick ye
me best day We ever sawW
very likely" replied Sullivan,
starting out, seeing that the man had
been drinking and not wishing to have
trouble with him.
ooh, We needn't very likely me
kin do it an Pm goin' to! Ye
needn't be 'shamed to fight with me,
the boys kin tell We | know how to
fight"
"Ye bet he kim" roared half a
dozen, "an we're going to see him
do it''
Here most of them drew their six
shooters, some guarded the door while
the rest covered the other members
of the Sullivan party and the bar
keepers with their weapons and
formed ring.
"Whack It to him, Jack" yelled
the boys.
aye bet l will III knock him down
an jag him with my spurs 7"
He took off heavy revolver and
handed it to friend who stood at the
head of the ring and said:
"Buck, we jes' hold that an keep
right behind me so | kin get it thun-
derin' quick if | step back and want
it," "Then he turned to Sullivan and
added: "Now | don't want none o.
yer hurricane fightin', nor monkey
business of any kind. This is jes'
straight, fair fight an eff We go to try
ing to knock me out I'll grab that air
gun aa' fill We so full of lead we wont
hold together 70
"That's right! !" yelled the boys.
Sullivan saw the fellow meant busi-
ness, and that whatever kind of a
fighter he might be he wasn't afraid
to shoot and that the others were at
his back. He saw the only thing he
could do was to let him have his own
way, simply keeping from getting
hurt himself. So they went at it and
Sullivan allowed himselfto be pounded
all over the ring. He could easily
have knocked the fellow out, for
though he was big and strong he had
no science, but there was that friend
of his right behind him all the time
holding that revolver out invitingly,
and already cooked. They kept it up
for fully fifteen minutes, or till the
cowboy was tired out, and Sullivan
never more than tapped his opponent,
though he took several quite heavy |
blows himself. AT last they stopped
and shook hands, while the boys
yelled till they were hoarse, and fired |
their six-shooters at the ceiling till |
Sullivan was deaf, after which his
treated the whole crowd and
patted him on the back patronizingly |

fair fighter he needed to train little |
more before he tackled Long Jack |

got the worst ola fight.-[Dakota Bell.
